PA ec rog A A A A A ct ttt pian BUS LINES COVETED : BY MUNICIPALITIES Whigh Seek to Take Over Those That Pay. There is quite a pretty struggle g8ing on at the moment in many plhess over the desire of the mu- nj itied, where the conditions are ble and' the prospects at all attractive, to secure the business of passenger conveyance by public hire vehicles. One can, says the Commercial Mo- "tor (London, Eng:), feel a certain sympathy with the principle of a mu- nielpality providing an essential ser- vice such as transport of people, be- cause in theory, that service is as vital to the community as the supply of water or electric power and the provision and operation of a drainage system. Such services must be con- tinued whether they pay or not, and it they cannot, for one reason or an- other, be made to pay, the local rates may fairly be drawn up to meet any deficiency. The country, as it happens, has been well served in the past by the large bus concerns, continuity of service having been maintained on unprofitable routes because it has heen recognized that, in this way, good-will is built up and traffic is en- couraged to develop. In very many cases it would be extromely unwise for a munieipality to compete with such services, where they are ade- quate to public requirements, nor is it fair to adopt a policy of repression, by way of a refusal of licenses, where a local desire has arisen to appropriate to the public anthority a businces which has been built up by private enterprise. rossi HIGHWAY CONDITIONS Report Issued by the Depart- ment of Public Highways _ at Toronto.

The matter was studied at an inter. provineial conference held during the past winter, and it was decided to recommend a fall convention, with the result that the executive of the association have fixed the fourth week In September for the meeting. At the request of the honorary president of the Good Roads' Asso- ciation, the Hon. J, L. Perron, the Quebec Government has kindly place ed the Legislative Building at the dis- posal of the association for the hold~ ing of their sessions, 'while the Cha-~ teau Frontenac will be the head- quarters of the convention. The gathering in September will have an international aspect, for programmes for fhe year and that =. delegates from France and Great Bri- tain will attend, including W. Rees Jeffreys, chairman of the Road Im- provement Board, an important Brit- ish organization that had charge of road construction during the war. In addition there will be several expert highway engineers from the United States who will give papers, while the executive of the, American Road Builders' Association have been ins vited to attend and will probably hold an executive session at Quebec dur- ing the three day convention. Tentative arrangements are al- ready being made by the executive of the Canadian Good Roads' Associa- tion, and the secretary, George A. McNamee, for the programme, and it is likely that the technical papers will this year be printed in advance and distributed to the delegates so that they may study them and be pre- -- pared to discuss them fully at the various sessions of the convention, The important topic of who shall pay for the roads, linked with which is the question of traffic control, will be one of the main subjects schedul- ed for discussion, while another will ' be the problem of dust elimination on gravel roads. ws a ---------- Jacob Cabel, 107, oldest resi of Butler County, Pa., is dead.

We do not know the names of the first Europeans to visit the far northern areas of this continent during the era of exploration that opened with the Cabots in 1497. That there were such visitors is very cléar from maps and charts that guided Henry Hudson in the formulation of plans for his first voyage in 1607, To Hudson, how- ever, the honor and credit must be given for the proper joining up of iis { I; $ 2 fst F5.Bfs Fr '3 i LITTLE KNOWN BITS OF CANADIAN HISTORY By Lymas B.

The remaining members of the crew then made for England, but in going out of the Bay they had an encounter with the Eskimo in which Greene was killed with others. Those who reached England were thrown into prison and to this day no tidings or relics have ever been found of Henry Hudson. The Hudson and James Bays were next explored by a navigator named Pere Albanal, of whom little is known, in the year 1672, and it Was not until 1719 that northern exploration was again seriously taken up, In that year the Hudson Bay Company commenced a series of expeditions to find the North-west passage. The first of these was on the Albany, s frigate commanded by Captain George Ber- After the ship left England she was never heard of again, In the same year the Prosperous sail- ed from Fort York on the Hudson Bay, and returned a year later with- put being able to break through the fee.
